Clearly, she doesn't want to be a concubine

He suppressed Suo Ertu and neglected Mingzhu in order to consolidate the imperial power.

Nalan Mingzhu under the high platform was silent.

Although he followed Kangxi to go west to Galdan last year, and was later reinstated as an official, he was still left out in the cold.Discuss political and military affairs without him.

He knew that he had been abandoned by Kangxi.

But he can't do anything.

Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.

Only what the king gives can be accepted.What the king does not give, cannot be taken.

Otherwise, he will invite death in the future.

After experiencing ups and downs, he now only wants to grow old safely and leave some glory for his family and future generations.

He listened quietly.

On the first day of March, the baby Hesheli Suzhen gave birth to died of illness, and there were cries all night in Chuxiu Palace.

Kangxi just sent some rewards to appease him, and he didn't go to see him.

A child who cannot grow up cannot be sequenced.

Women will grieve because they were born by themselves. For men, they will only develop feelings for their children from the day-to-day relationship.

For Kangxi, the government occupied most of his time, and the rest was the prince Yinfeng, and finally his other children, and then his favorite concubine.

As for those who can't grow up...

Say something mean and cold-blooded.

He is not bad for this one or two children.

He is affectionate and righteous, but also mean and indifferent.

His son, Yinzhen, who later ascended the throne as emperor, Yongzheng Emperor, was in the same line as him.

Someone in later generations once commented on Yongzheng: he is really mean when he is mean, but he is not ungrateful; he is really cruel if he is cruel, but he is not ruthless.

The same is true of Kangxi.

In the summer, Kangxi, Khalkha and the princes of Inner Mongolia gathered in Duolunuoer, known as the "Duolun League" in history.

This alliance marked the surrender of the three tribes of Khalkha to the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi later said: "In the past, the Qin Dynasty promoted earth and stone construction and built the Great Wall. I favored Khalkha to make it guard against Shuofang and make the Great Wall stronger."

He also said: "In the Mongolian tribe, the three emperors died, and the five emperors refused to obey. Now there is no difference between China and foreign countries."

Coincidentally, the second princess and Princess Shuo Rongxian were married to Urgon. Kangxi simply stayed in the Mongolian tribe and returned to the Forbidden City after attending the wedding.

On the day of Princess Heshuo Rongxian's wedding, the emerald green grassland was covered with red cloth, and even the horns of cattle and sheep were wrapped with red cloth.

Singing and dancing around the bonfire all night was noisy and lively.

Kangxi also opened the tent and looked at it for a while, but remained silent for a long time.

Maybe he is getting older, and he begins to like all things that are lively, beautiful and full of vitality.

At night, he met Wang Yunjin.

Wang Yunjin is beautiful and beautiful, with the softness of Jiangnan water town, eyes slightly open, looking at people in a misty way, with moisture and lingering.

She is an ink artist from Jiangnan.

At the end, Kangxi twisted her hair: "If it wasn't for Concubine De, I would have missed a wonderful person like you."

Wang Yunjin smiled, beautiful and soft: "Sister De is always good."

Kangxi likes that she is so knowledgeable and interesting.

After returning to Beijing, Kangxi promoted her status.

Wang promised to become Wang Changzai.

After returning to the palace, Umalu found out about this and asked someone to send a pair of bracelets.

Regarding Yinzhen's marriage, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have already been busy.

As for the management...

Umalu was not in good health, so Kangxi handed it over to the second concubine Ronghui to take care of him, and then pointed to the eminent concubine Niu Hulu as the main caretaker.

Inside and out, the three concubines are busy.

Concubine Hui said: "She is used to being lazy."

Concubine Rong persuaded: "She is not in good health, sister should say a few words less."

Concubine Hui felt uncomfortable and had to say a few words: "The emperor values ​​her and her son so much, will my sister not be angry?"

Concubine Rong didn't want to argue with him about these things, she just said: "Elder elder brother has already left the palace to set up a mansion, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the emperor has never been short of anything. My sister has such a big opinion on a person who doesn't go out much."

Concubine Hui snorted and stopped talking.

Noble Concubine Niu Hulu waited for them to say enough, and then she said flatly: "Okay, this is the emperor's oral order after all, we still have to do it beautifully."

The two agreed and started talking.

Each of them has a personal maid to accompany them around, in case of emergencies.

The elder brother Yinti had already married before, so there is no trouble in this matter, just follow the routine.

It will be finalized soon.

A day was set for the ceremony.

Kangxi figured out a set of gift lists by himself and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare them.

It includes clothes, jewelry, utensils, and silver, as well as a lot of cloth.

Umalu asked Liuli to take some gold, silver, jewelry and jade jewelry from his warehouse to add hair.

After preparing the bride price, send it to Ulanala's house.

Ulanara Jingshu is only ten years old, how can she understand this, only that people around her say that she is going to marry the fourth elder brother and become a concubine.

She doesn't understand this yet.

Until my mother-in-law hugged her and cried, saying that she would never see her face in the future, she was scared, so she also cried.

Mrs. Ulanara hurriedly hugged her and coaxed her: "Daughter, don't be afraid. I heard from them that the fourth elder brother's biological mother is a good person. Don't be afraid. She will treat you well."

That was her daughter born in October.

She's only so old, how could she be willing to go out.

But the emperor's order is hard to break.

The only consolation she felt was that the Concubine De had a good reputation in her mouth, and she thought that her daughter would not suffer any crimes after she passed away, so as not to be troubled.

She couldn't help telling her earnestly: "After you get married, you must be obedient and sensible, and don't act like you are at home. If you have anything, just tell Empress Defei that she is a good person. Don't be afraid."

As I spoke, I couldn't help but cry again.

Mrs. Ulanara quickly wiped away her tears, and took Ulanara Jingshu to see the bride price from the palace.

Mrs. Ulanara said: "I discussed with you, Ama, and most of the people here will be your dowry."

"The girl has a dowry in her hand. If something happens, there is still a way out."

Married daughters, spilled water.

In the future, no matter what her daughter has to go through, she will take it easy, and the family can't help much.

Jing Shu was very sensible, pulled Mrs. Ulanara, and said, "Leave these to Ama and Er Niang."

Mrs. Ulanara couldn't bear it anymore, let go of her hand, let the nuns look after her, and went out to wipe her tears by herself.

Ulanara Feyangu looked at her while smoking a hookah: "Why cry, I'm not afraid of what others say."

Mrs. Ulanara couldn't bear it and gave him a slap: "You old man, your daughter is only so old, why do you have the heart to marry her?"

Ulanara Fei Yanggu took out his pipe: "The emperor has spoken, what can we do. I asked, the fourth elder brother and the concubine Defei are both good people, what else do you want."

"I know," she murmured, "I know."

Children are a piece of flesh that fell from the mother.

Naturally, there are parents who are not good to their children, but Mrs. Ulanara is not such a person.

She was bitter.

Ulanara Feyangu hugged her and coaxed her.

Mrs. Ulanara is a daughter of the clan, after Nurhachi's eldest son, Chu Ying, she has always been appropriate and tactful.

Ulanara Feyangu has a strong affection for her, and she is the only one.

Mrs. Ulanara also knew that her husband was right, so she stopped crying after crying for a while.

She wiped away her tears, regained her usual temper, and started working her way up and down to get ready for the wedding.

The day before the wedding, Jing Shu was accompanied by her maid of honor.

And Yinzhen went to visit the empress dowager first, and the empress dowager asked him to leave after a few words.

Later, Yinzhen paid a visit to Kangxi.

Kangxi went to Yonghe Palace with him.

Yinzhen felt a little uncomfortable, he had never been so close to his imperial father.

Kangxi glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

After entering the Yonghe Palace, Umalu had already made preparations. Seeing Kangxi coming, he sat down with Kangxi after saluting.

Yinzhen knelt down to salute, and then repeated the old saying, it was nothing more than thanking his parents for their kindness in raising him, he was about to marry a wife, now that he was an adult, he had to be more filial to his elders and so on.

After hearing what he said, Umalu asked him to stand up and sit down, and looked at him: "In the blink of an eye, it's time for you to get married."

Yinzhen bowed his head and said, "From now on, I will have fewer days in front of Er Niang."

Umalu stopped spinning the beads in his hand and looked at Kangxi.

Kangxi said: "I asked someone to build a house for him in the east of the city. Before it was finished, he stayed in the palace. There are quite a few places for him to live."

This was planned in advance.

Except for the Crown Prince of the East Palace, after the princes get married, they will all go out to establish a mansion.

It's just that after Yinzhen and Jingshu's zodiac coincidence, the auspicious day is too close, so the mansion for Yinzhen is not ready yet.

He pondered for a while, and said: "After all, he has a family, and he has settled for a palace in the West Second Institute."

Umalu said with a smile: "You have a heart."

Kangxi hummed, very satisfied.

Umalu discussed with Kangxi: "That child Jingshu is still young after all, although there are nuns and palace servants around her, it doesn't look like she is at home."

Hearing what she said, Kangxi understood what she meant, took a look at Yinzhen, and didn't intend to hurt her now.

He just said: "You leave a side hall for her to live in, and I will say hello to Queen Mother."

Umalu smiled and said: "The emperor is really a loving father."

Yinzhen also said, "Thank you, Imperial Father."

Kangxi was in a complicated mood, and after saying a few words, he made Yinzhen retreat, and all the palace people in the room also went down.

It took Kangxi a while to speak: "Prince, I treat him very well, but he has never been like the third or fourth child."

This is really difficult to answer, no matter what you say, it seems to be sowing discord.

Umalu could only say: "How can there be a child who doesn't admire his parents?"

Having said that, Umalu refused to say any more.

Kangxi used to say that they are the same person, and he knew her worry when he heard that, he said calmly: "You are afraid that I will suspect that you are trying to provoke me and Yinfeng."

Umalu nodded: "Yes."

She handed the bead in her hand to Kangxi: "My son and I have no desire to compete. I just hope that they will stay away from such struggles and live a safe life."

She sighed softly: "In the eyes of others, maybe the slaves are too cowardly. But they don't know that if they get involved in the fight, they will never come out. The freedom of life and death in the future is not up to them."

Kangxi didn't answer, looked at her, and said word by word: "Sometimes, there is no room for people not to fight."

Umalu looked at Kangxi firmly: "But the slave and the slave's child will not fight, at least the Lord is at ease, and the prince is also at ease."

She said: "Just be a slave and say something unlucky. If one day, the slave's children are involved, I hope the Lord will send them out and don't go into that muddy water."

"Muddy water, you said it's muddy water!" Kangxi repeated, laughing fiercely, he slammed the table heavily, "Concubine De, you are so courageous!"

Umalu knelt very neatly: "Every word and every word of the slave, there is no deceit."

Kangxi looked down at her for a while, then got down to help her up, and brushed the dust off her robe with his own hands: "You are my concubine."

He took the string of beads tightly in her hand: "I agree with what you said."

He accepted as the emperor, and there will never be any change.

"The servant thanked the Lord on behalf of the children."

"That's my child too." As soon as Kangxi said this, his mood was a little delicate.

He only regards Prince Yinreng as his own child, and the others are his princes.

He is more rational and objective towards the prince, so Yinhu who is well-behaved, sensible and obedient is more pleasing to him, and he doesn't mind giving Yinhu a little more favor.

He is the emperor, and everyone in the world should please him.

But Umalu's words reminded him that they were not only his princes, but also his sons.

He has to admit that he really doesn't care much about children other than Yinfeng.

It seemed that he had unknowingly become the same person as the emperor's father.

He fell silent.

Umalu also embroidered in silence.

It was a white crane.

At night, Kangxi stayed overnight.

Knowing that he was not leaving, Umalu found an opportunity to ask Liuli, who was guarding the door, to send someone to remind Yinzhen to let Ulanara Jingshu eat something in private tomorrow, and she will be busy all day, so as not to be hungry. Older children.

Umalu believed in Liuli, and went to rest without waiting for her to report back.

Kangxi didn't hear what Umalu said, but he knew Umalu's character too well, so he said: "You must have asked Lao Siminger to take care of the children of Ulanara's family."

Umalu nodded: "I can't hide it from my master."

"Between husband and wife. It's not interesting to hide it."

Umalu climbed onto the bed, fell asleep, and stuffed his hand into his palm: "Master, go to sleep."

Kangxi held her hand, drowsy, and was about to fall asleep, but said: "I was worried about what you said..."

There was a moment of silence.

Umalu closed his eyes and never spoke.

Kangxi spoke again, not sure if he was talking in his sleep or telling the truth.

He almost laughed at himself and said, "I thought about it, if one day the prince is abolished naively, everyone will be pretty much the same, so let's make the fourth child."

Umalu didn't answer, just stopped breathing slightly.

"Then you and I can be considered as husband and wife, and we are bound to die together."

In the Qing Dynasty, only the empress could share the acupuncture point with the emperor.

Umalu didn't answer.

Kangxi also seemed to be asleep.

But he murmured again: "You shouldn't be afraid of me, never have to be afraid of me."

No one answered.

Kangxi had a dream.

It was still a weird place, a beautiful woman appeared in front of him, enthusiastic and active, looked at him with a smile, kissed his lips, her eyes were lingering and piercing.

Her whole body was as cold as an iceberg.

So contradictory, so harmonious.

Her mouth opened and closed, and he still couldn't hear what she was saying.

He wanted too much to be recognised.

He tried hard to identify it.

Then the voice grew louder and louder until he finally heard it.
